VIII LOYOLA UNIVERSn fY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1930 No. 16 ORCHESTRA AND GLEE CLUB MAKE SPLENDID SHOWING IN YICKSBURG Program Presented in St. Xavier Auditorium Please* Tnthusiastic Audience Returning triumphant from the siege of Vicksburg, the university Glee Club and dance orchestra captured the hearts of Vicksburg musiclovers with a varied and we'.l-presented program Friday, May 2nd. A more cordial reception could not have been expected had the organization been the retinue of a visiting potentate.The concert, the first ever given by the musical aggregation was tnoroughly enjoyed by an audience assembled in the auditorium of St, iiai.cis Xir ier Academy and while the merits of the offering deserved a much larger hearing, those present .showed plenty of the enthusiasm and appreciation that is dear to the hearts of public performers, colelge or otherwise.A very pretty feature of the evening, one not on the program, came at the close, when Rev. Father Ruggeri, S. J., regent of the university! and faculty director of the glee club, made a few remarks, throwing bouquets to Vicksburg, right and left. The reverend father, after express-! ing appreciation of his Vicksburg friendships and of the sponsorship of the St. Francis Xavier Alumnae ( Association making the university boys' trip here possible, stated that a number of the boys had traveled far and wide, but that he had told them on the train that they were! coming to "the best people of the i best city in the world." Needless to say, his remarks were loudly applauded.Of the work of the glee club and dance orchestra, it need only be said CHEMISTRY CLUB PAYS FINAL VISIT TO PETROLEUM PLANT The Chemistry Club last Wednesday paid a visit to the Chalmette Petro'.eum Company, where Mr. Gaudet, the head chemist, very kindly showed them over the plant and explained the manufacturing process to them. The plant is engaged in the production of gasoline and fuel oil from petroleum, and the apparatus and process used in this manufacture were of great interests to the students. This was probably the last trip of instruction that the club will make this year. The new members retheir first view of a chemical institucently admitted were furnished with tion on this trip and learned much that would be of value to them. Professor Voorhies and Professor Markey accompanied the students in their inspection of the plant.

YEAR BOOK WILL BE READY FOR DISTRI BUTION ON MAY 30 In a recent interview with Bob Ainswoith much interesting information was obtained regarding the Wolf, which will be put into the hands of the students on Friday, May 30. Consisting in entirety of two hundred and eight pages, a significant portion has been appropriated to developing the historical color theme— The Jesuit Fathers in New Orleans. With the high spots discriminately selected and undergoing preparation since last May, and with the talents of a commercial artist, working under the direct supervision of the editorial staff, the life of our paternal order has been traced from its humble be- j ginning and crude frame structures to itse glorious present and magnificent buildings. The custom of featuring the seniors in cap and gown, has suffered deviation and we shall find them in civilian dress. An arrangement in alphabetical order has supplanted that of class and department order. Eight pages are occupied with snapshots of various student activities and being finished in duo-tone ink should prove real classy. Mr. Ainsworth expressed a surety that the sport section would be of especial interest. Individual pictures of the players and action snaps of the games are included, while particular attention has been paid to the track members, due to the notoriety they have received. This feature too is entirely different from other years. The various scholastic organizations have received their usual allotment as well as the several fraternities. The joke section consists of eight pages of cartoons by Earl Langlois and an dequacy of witticisms. Ainsworth, editor-in-chief, was j warm in his commendation of his assistarts. He declared that all worked conscientiously and were deserving of much praise. Victor Choppin, the copy editor, was an invaluable aid, he especially declared, and Lozes and Zinzer proved competent as business managers.

The Mis under the personal supervision of "Doc" Bonomo, and was indeed a credit to his efforts. Special scenery and stage settings were constructed for the occasion by Mr. Lapouade, professional scenir artist of this city; and the many ■omments of approval are a tribute to his success. Bob Ainsworth, as the young German author who is drafted in the army against his will, gave a very graphic representation, and was ably assisted by the rest of the cast, inciuding Maud Valiant, Emily Nunez John Oulliber, Timothy Duggan, HaroldBLASI TO HEAD STUDENT COUNCIL FOR COMING YEAR Joseph Blasi, junior law student, J was elected president of the Loyola Student Council at a meeting of j that board last Friday.

UNIVERSITY RADIO STATION FEATURES EDUCATONAL PROGRAM Mr. Pasquet, head of the university radio station WWL is featuring an educational program entitled "Your English." This program is broadcast every evening at 7:00 o'clock, and is concerned with correct pronunciation and usage of words. The program should be taken advantage of for the amelioration of our American English. The English people, and with some reason, criticize and satirize the English used in America, they term it as "undefined." Students at the university should not fail to listen-in every evening and learn many points on correct English which is a distinguishing mark of an educated man. WWL will also feature Mr. W. Parker, Economist of Fenner and Beane on Monday at 6:15 p. m. Mr. Parker is a nationally known figure and his talk on national questions will undoubtedly prove interesting.
